Desiring God Above All

What captures your attention and your imagination more than anything or anyone else? What do you desire above all else?

Each of us have desires. We desire relationships and we desire material things. Desires are good. God has given us so many good gifts to desire.

Above all else, God has given us the gift of himself and longs for us to desire him above everything and everyone else.

The Psalmist writes, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.” (Psalm 73:25, ESV).

Nothing compares to God. Nothing on the earth is more desirable than God himself.

Like the Psalmist, may we desire God above all else and may we be contented in him.

In Christ alone, Robbie

A Prayer For Desiring God, by Francis Xavier: “O God, grant that we may desire you, and desiring you seek you, and seeking you find you, and finding you be satisfied in you for ever. Amen.” (#74., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
